I hear silicone 1 is used for reseal but is it also used for assembly? I guess thats what i need to know

Yep, any aquarium safe silicone will work. Be sure to use something to brace each panel until the silicone is fully cured.

Be aware and read the back all GE silicone I have seen say in the back not to be used under water or aquariums.

They put this on the tube as a disclaimer to avoid lawsuits if the silicone fails. GE silicone is what most people use just be sure it's 100% silicone and it is not the mold inhibitor stuff. I believe the stuff you need is called windows and doors.
